What They Say

“When I met with Paul, he answered all my questions sincerely and professionally, and provided a vast range of helpful career advice - from how to improve my resume, to targeting specific job markets, to better navigating online job-hunting, and tips on thriving, Seattle-based companies."

“Education empowers and the computer tutoring here at FamilyWorks is bridging the digital divide for people who cannot get help elsewhere."

“I'm much more confident in my CPR under the new guidelines and thought it was a great offering. It's hard to budget for both a class and a sitter and it was such a help that it was free."
